This is one of the strangest movies I have ever watched! I think my mom got this DVD in a cereal box. I brought it home a few Christmas's ago, but haven't watched it until tonight!
It was very much an 80's movie! If anyone want to borrow it...feel free to talk to me!

Luckiest
I went to go renew my parking sticker at BYU this week (since it expires tomorrow!) I knew that I need to bring in my registration. So I went to take it out of my glove box and noticed that the date was expired on the piece of paper. I thought, maybe this is the wrong paper...but after checking the tags on my car, I realized that my registration was indeed expired. It expired in JULY!!!
I went that afternoon to re-register my car and wasn't charged a fine for letting it expire so that made me happy. Because I was sure that they were going to charge me something.
I am just so lucky that I haven't been pulled over in the past 3 months! I guess I didn't get the renewal letter in the mail, since I moved since it would have been sent to me.
I am so thankful that I was able to get it fixed and that I was blessed to not have been pulled over and fined. I much rather learn the lesson by panicking after finding out that it was expired rather than paying a huge fine!

100 Things about Ann-Marie on her 100th Post!
1. I went on my first plane ride at age 12 and I flew alone.

8. I am starting to get over my hate for red and now have red curtains in my house.

10. Often when I say my name over the phone people think that my name is Emory. They also think that is a pretty name.

Science Fiction
I have to read 2 Science Ficton books before the middle of November for my Provo job. I am not much of a sci-fi reader... Iin fact I don't know if I've ever read anything that is truly Sci-Fi.
So I am asking for suggestions for good science fiction books.
Does anyone have favorites or suggestions for me?

Nunya
So my roommate needed to take a picture of her pet and her for a contest they are doing at work. The only problem being that she doesn't have a pet!
So yesterday after church we got together to make her a pet. We found a nice rock in our yard and got crafty!
We used cotton balls for the eyes and nail polish to paint the face and spots on Nunya. Leaves made great hair and gills for the pet rock.
Then we took him outside for a photo shoot. Katie took some pictures with her camera of him by the tree and smelling some random roses in our front yard.
Here is a picture of that I took of Nunya at his family reunion.
(click to enlarge)
What is Nunya's full name you ask?

So this week was my sisters first week of college. Since she is 6 years younger than me, it is sort of weird to believe that she is even old enough to be in college! But it is fun to have her out here and to build a relationship with her as an adult!
I remember what it was like to start college...It was fun and exciting and overwhelming, but some of the best years of my life.
People say that if they could they would go back in time and be in highschool again. I would never want that! Highschool was okay, but college was by far better!!! If I could go back I would do college all over again. And I would do it exactly the same way that I did it this time around!
I have made some of my best friends in college and I wouldn't trade my experiences in college for anything!

"Your manners suck"
Last night I was at work and a lady came up to the side of the desk. I asked her to come around to the front so that I could help her. She then said that she had printouts. As per our policy, I asked her to describe what she had printed. She proceeded to tell me that they were the only printouts that had printed in the last 10 minutes. I explained to her that all of the computers printed to this one computer and I just needed her to tell me what her printouts were. She told me and I counted up the pages. I told her how much she owed and she threw the money at me. I thanked her for paying and then as I was ringing it in the cash register she said, "You need to get some better manners. Because your manners suck!"
I just ignored her as she walked away, but I really wanted to tell her that saying "suck" wasn't really very good manners either!

House Hunting
So I am moving (again) in a few weeks. After looking around town for a new place and becoming increasingly frustrated with the whole process, I found some places to look at.
This place was...interesting... You walk into the living room and the bathroom is just off the living room. Then you go up a spiral staircase (carpeted in yellow 70s shag of course!) a end up in the kitchen. Down the hallway you find the two bedrooms one of which has a skylight. It wasn't the place for me...getting ready in the morning would have been so frustrating because you would have to go up and down the stairs a million times!
After looking at several other properties (actually the one we got was the first one I looked at) my roommate and I decided on this one...
It is the cutest little house! I love it already! It is furnished and perfect! It is a little 2 bedroom 1 bath just up from where I am now. We will share the washer and dryer with the couple that lives in the "studio" that is attached to the house and will split utilities with them as well.
I am so excited to move into a house and live in a quiet neighborhood! I move in on August 15th!

It's time to clean house!
So my roommate is out of town for the weekend.I decided that my apartment was in need of some cleaning and today was the day to do it! I vacummed the living room for I think, the first time since I moved in in April. I also swept and mopped the kitchen floor. I don't know why you would put white linoleum in a student apartment, but that's what is in my house. The floor was so dirty!! It didn't take me that long to clean up and I was so much happier when it was done!!

Vacation!!
Okay I am finally getting a chance to tell you about my vacation. It was a lot of fun! I flew out on Sunday the 2nd with my grandma. After a long day of traveling we FINALLY got to Ashley's parents house. We ate dinner and had fun chatting with the cousins, jumping on the trampoline, and just hanign out. On Monday we went to the church history sites that are in the area: Liberty Jail, Far West, Independance Visitors Center, and Adam-ondi-Ahman. It was a fun day! On Tuesday a bunch of us got dressed up and went window shopping at the Plaza in downtown Kansas City. We didn't buy anything, but had a fun time looking at the different stores. That night we had a BBQ, family baseball game, horseriding, volleyball game..... and lots of fireworks. We watched the city fireworks and then put on a fireworks show of our own. On Wed we went to the lake a played on pontoon boats. Everyone that had a drivers license had the opportunity to drive the boat! We went swimming off the boats, had a picnic and played card games. That night we went to a Kansas City Royals baseball game. The Royals won and we all had a fun time at the game. That night Ashley, Tim, Natalie and I left to go to their house in Indiana. It is a 8 hour trip from KC to Indianapolis. I stayed up the first 4 hours of the trip while Tim drove and then stayed up the last 4 hours of the trip while Ashley drove! I KNOW that I am now too old to pull all-nighters. I was so tired by the end of the trip! Since we got hom around 8am on Thursday morning, Ash and I just took naps and lazed around while Tim was at work that day. On Friday Ash and Natalie and I went on a walk around the canal in downtown Indianapolis and went shopping while Tim was at work. Then after he got off we went to the Indy 500 Speedway Museum. It was really interesting to learn about the history of racing and see how the cars had changed throughout the years. That night we went to the drive in and saw "Cars" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", it was fun to go to the movies, but I did sleep through most of them because I was still so tired! Saturday we went to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. It was so much fun and I could have spent many, many more DAYS there. We saw blown-glass by Chihuly, we explored Sesame Street, learned about dinosaurs, saw miniture houses, and learned about sea life. We also rode the carosel and just have a great time! Saturday night while we were playing games at Tim and Ash's house, Natalie giggled for the first time! It was so cute!
So that was my vacation, it was a lot of fun and a much needed break from work! I hope you enjoy these pictures...
(P.S. Some of the pictures are sort of random and I didn't know which pictures I was attaching, but that's okay!)

Rodeo
Me, Grace, Sariah
I went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove on Friday night. It was so much fun! I love watching muttin' bustin' (where little kids ride sheep), wild cow milking (where teams of 3 guys each chase cows around the arena and try to milk them) and of course bull riding, steer roping and barrel racing. My roommate Katie came with some of her friends from her old ward. And Sariah, Jake, Grace and Sariah's brother and sister-in-law and kids came. It was a really fun time!
Grace sporting a cowboy hat!
So cute!
Katie and I at the Rodeo!
